Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim Measle, Trimethoprim, Rash, First Night, Little Red Bumps
Posted over a year ago
I am taking sulfameth/trimethoprim and after one week started breaking out in a strange measle-like rash too. this is my first night with the rash, and its not itchy yet but something is definitely wrong. hope this helps the next person.
Christinax - for everyone who developed a rash, how long did it take to go away? i was on sulfa for three days and now i have little red bumps that kind of look like small pimples all over my ankles and feet and my arms and hands...is this a normal side effect? i am so freaked out that it wll be permanent...i stopped taking the meds.
Cazandco - I have been taking trimethoprim for 4 days now. This morning I noticed a rash on both feet, over my toes and finishing just below.
I am reluctant to stop taking the meds as I had an hysterectomy and then developed a UTI a week later. It set me back considerably in my recovery. I only have 3 more tablets to take.
Hopefully the rash will disappear soon.
